Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to look at the man in front of her. His originally red hair had been dyed black. There was a hint of roguishness in his eyes but also a hint of steadiness. The previously reckless Gu Yao seemed to have become a different person.
Gu Yao seemed to have grown up overnight. He went from a child to a domineering man. He used his abilities to prove that he was not just a playboy. He could also manage the Gu family.
When Gu Zheng was around, Gu Yao could be the second young master of the Gu family in peace. But now that Gu Zheng was not around, he would definitely not let outsiders take over the Gu family. His image of a rich playboy was just a disguise. He was Gu Zhengâs younger brother, so he was naturally not bad.
At this moment, his gaze was sharp. The moment he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes turned slightly red as if he had a thousand things to say.
Qiao Xiâs eyes were filled with gratification as she praised Gu Yao in her heart. She stood up to welcome him and was about to speakâ¦
âDamn! I really have to take my hats off to you! I didnât expect managing the company to be so tiring! Qiao Xi, Iâve been dealing with those old guys all day. Iâm so annoyed!â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â âWhereâs the domineering Gu Yao from earlier?â
Gu Yao cried and said, âQiao Xi, I originally thought that being the president was easy, but I didnât expect it to be so tiring! When will Gu Zheng recover? I really donât want to manage this lousy company anymore! Why donât you take over?â
Gu Zheng leaned against the hospital bed with a book in his hand. Without raising his head, he said, âI have nothing to do with Gu Corporation. I donât have any shares and have no right to manage it.â
Gu Yao hurriedly said, âIâll give you all my shares!â
Gu Zheng slowly lifted his eyes and said lightly, âI donât want them. Gu Corporation is under your control.â
The ward suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Gu Yao widened his eyes in shock. âNo way! You want to throw this mess to me? Iâve already been the acting president for a week. Do you want me to be the president for the rest of my life? Boo-hoo⦠Gu Zheng! You canât do this to me! Iâm just a playboy. Iâve already used up all my energy to manage the company for a week. Donât make things difficult for me!â
Qiao Xi listened to Gu Yaoâs crying and even wondered how Gu Yao had the ability to fight with Lu Yan.
Gu Yao was like a pitiful puppy bouncing in front of the hospital bed. There were tears in his eyes as he said pitifully, âGu Zheng, Iâm your biological younger brother! You canât treat me like this!â
Gu Zhengâs expression was calm. âHow is the company doing now?â
At the mention of the company, Gu Yaoâs confidence was boosted as he said proudly, âDonât you know who I am? How can I let Lu Yan, that dog, snatch things from me? If I lose to him, where will I put my dignity in the future? But I didnât expect this dog to have some skills. He actuallyâ¦â
Gu Yaoâs voice suddenly stopped. There was something that had been bothering him. Gu Zheng and Lu Yan both shared the same mother, but why did she only help Lu Yan and never cared about Gu Zheng?
Gu Zheng smirked. âVery good.â
Although it was just two words, it was still a compliment. If it were any other time, Gu Yao would have been so happy that his tail would be up in the air. But right now, his expression was dark. âGu Zheng, Iâm really tired. I donât understand why Dad would do this to you.â
Actually, his parents doted on Gu Yao a lot and had never treated him badly since he was young. They would give him money and help him settle any trouble he caused. However, he had never experienced kinship in this family because everyone in this family was very cold and only cared about benefits.
For example, they were actually able to make a move on their biological son, Gu Zheng, for Lu Yanâs sake. In that case, wouldnât they have to deal with him in the future as well?
For Lu Yan, they could give up their other two sons. Did they have to cause chaos in the family and kill each other?
âOf course, you donât understand his thoughts,â Gu Zheng said nonchalantly.
Gu Yao was confused. Was there a reason behind this?
Then, Gu Zheng said seriously, âYouâre a normal person. Of course, you wouldnât understand the thoughts of a scumbag. The world is big, and there are all kinds of strange things. You guys arenât of the same species, so thereâs no need to understand his thoughts. You just have to be good and not lower yourself to the level of a retard.â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â âIs it really okay for you to say that your father is an idiot? Youâre being unfilial!â
